Feverfew

Feverfew is used to treat most of the same disorders treated by aspirin, including migraine headaches, fever, and arthritis. It is rich in a group of chemicals called sesquiterpene lactones. These compounds have been have been found to decrease the rate of platelet aggregation (blood clotting), inhibit histamine release from immune cells, and have even been found to have mild sedative properties. Feverfew's most popular use is as a headache reliever. This effect is most likely due to the herb's blood clot inhibiting action (platelet aggregation is thought to play a role in some forms of migraine) and the anti-inflammatory and antihistamine (histamines create inflammation and constrict blood vessels) properties of the prostaglandins. Some have found feverfew to be effective in treating high blood pressure, digestive disorders (acting much like its close relative, chamomile, in calming the smooth muscles of the digestive tract), and in relieving menstrual cramps.
The herb is a good source of niacin, and contains other trace minerals such as magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and thiamine.
The British journal Lancet published a study on Feverfew to treat migraine headaches. This was a double-blind placebo controlled randomized trial. It showed that 70% of the patients reported a reduction in the frequency and severity of attacks. Some reported a complete cessation of their migraines. It is noted that these results surpass any achieved by conventional migraine drugs.
